Wouldn’t it be great if you could trick or treat for lipgloss? Halloween is almost upon us and thoughts are turning to beauty of an altogether darker sort. But don’t let a love of the ghoulish get in the way of looking good. The last thing you want to do is scare the neighbours as you head off for a night out, and yet a sultry nod to the season of ghosts and things that go bump in the night is more than appropriate

Sharing’s Not Always Caring On Facebook!

Posted by Editor On October - 27 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Imagine e-mailing a list of your husband’s faults to everyone you’ve ever met. Of course you wouldn’t. On Saturday afternoon that’s essentially what I did. I posted a Facebook update moaning about lazy men unhelpfully watching sport. I was cheered by the roar of agreement from girlfriends, and sniggered at the defensiveness of the boys. Inevitably, my husband was deeply unamused to be joshed on Monday morning by mutual friends. Think twice before posting those catty little asides about his love of chick-flicks to make on-line friends giggle. You could be causing more trouble than you realise.

Warm Up With A Hearty Soup

This is a lovely creamy comforting soup that tastes naughtier than it is. I sort of discovered accidentally on one of my cooking afternoons.

Baby it’s cold outside but since we can’t closet ourselves inside for all of winter we need to put our best foot forward and march to work in style in the best boots the stores have to offer.

I know that it is going to be an expensive year for me in terms of boots.

Natural products for your face and skin

Posted by Editor On October - 19 - 2010 1 COMMENT

Eating organically and as chemically free as possible has been around for years but it’s only recently that the beauty market has turned its attentions to chemical free products. With many beauty products ingredients lists reading like a science experiment, there is a wave of natural and organic products sweeping the market. Belle set out to find the best organic and natural replacements for everyday beauty.

Commuting for two (or three)!

Posted by Editor On October - 18 - 2010 4 COMMENTS

I don’t expect any sympathy for simply commuting to and from work, we all know that being wedged under a stranger’s sweaty armpit on a crowded train is not much fun at the best of times, but when you roughly resemble the dimensions of a garden shed things can get pretty ugly.
